How Human iPSCs are Revolutionizing Drug Discovery in 2022

By Leave a Comment

Drug discovery involves high cost and uncertain outcomes.  Only a few companies can take the risk of investing enormous amounts of money into research and testing, only to see undesirable side effects emerge during the final human clinical trials. In many cases, companies are spending millions of dollars to fail during clinical testing.

Now, some new medicines are being tested for safety on specialized cells developed from human pluripotent cell lines. Cell types which are frequently being using within drug discovery applications include heart (cardiomyocytes) and liver cells (hepatocytes), which are the organs where 80% of drug failures occur.

Cell Therapy Manufacturing | Factors Driving Interest in Cell Therapy CDMOs

By Leave a Comment

Cell therapy manufacturing is becoming of growing importance as more and more cell therapeutics make their way through clinical trials. One of the major issues with moving cell therapy products from “bench to bedside” has been manufacturing bottlenecks. The heterogeneous nature of cell therapy products has introduced manufacturing complexity and regulatory concerns, as well as scale-up complexities that are not present within traditional pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Cell Therapy Manufacturing CDMOs

While these realities may sound like negative factors for the industry, the reality is quite the opposite. For cell therapy CDMOs, these factors create pressures for cell therapy companies to seek third-party partners who possess technical, manufacturing, and regulatory expertise in cell therapy development and manufacturing.

Can We Extend the Human Lifespan With Regenerative Medicine?

By 3 Comments

Regenerative medicine is a fascinating topic, because it requires you to ask yourself: Would you want to live to be 200 years old? A scientist from Stanford University thinks that it’s possible – so much so that he has placed a bet that there is someone alive today who will live to be 200 years old.

Over recent decades, modern scientific developments have led to a dramatic increase in human lifespan. But how much further can we go? Does regenerative medicine have the power to enable us all to live for many more years?

Let’s dive into this fascinating topic and find out more about regenerative medicine. How could it extend human life into the future? [Read more…]
